Ep 5. Love Can't Weight: Bryce and Amber

Bryce and Amber are a couple who met and fell in love after both losing significant amounts of weight, but have since regained it all and then some. They come to Chris Powell and the Extreme Weight Loss team hoping to turn their lives around and get back on track.

Bryce, a former college football player, has always struggled with his weight. After a knee injury ended his football career, he turned to food for comfort and eventually ballooned up to over 600 pounds. He initially lost over 200 pounds on his own, but then regained it all and more after a break-up. Now, at 35 years old, he weighs over 700 pounds and is struggling to even walk.

Amber, 36, is a single mother of three who also battled with her weight since childhood. She reached her highest weight of over 400 pounds after a difficult divorce and turning to binge eating for comfort. She met Bryce at a gym where they were both working on losing weight, and the two fell in love and became each other's support system.

Chris Powell is determined to help them both regain control of their health and transform their bodies and their relationship. He begins by getting them started on a manageable exercise routine and prescribing a healthy meal plan. However, Chris faces even greater challenges with Bryce, whose size makes it difficult for him to even fit in the gym equipment. Chris brings in a special, custom-made bike for Bryce, but even that is a struggle for him at first.

Over the course of a year, Chris pushes Bryce and Amber both physically and mentally, helping them to confront the emotional issues that led them to overeat in the first place. Bryce confronts the trauma of his football injury and the feelings of worthlessness it brought on, while Amber works through her lingering pain from her divorce.

As they progress, both Bryce and Amber find new levels of strength and determination to succeed. They also learn to lean on each other as they go through the ups and downs of their weight loss journey. Chris works with them to set achievable goals and reward them for their hard work, culminating in an emotional final reveal where Bryce and Amber show off their incredible transformations.
